How to Transport a 500-LB Motorcycle with a 2020 Nissan Murano
Question:
I have a 2020 Nissan Murano and your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 Item # C13205. I want to know if I install a Black Widow MCC-600 Steel Motorcycle Carrier – 600 lb. Capacity, will this combo allow me to put a 500 lb bike and tow it safely?

I have a possible solution for you.
It looks like neither your Curt Class III, part # C13205, nor your vehicle are able to support that kind of tongue weight. Your best bet is to use a motorcycle trailer which you can find online.
For most of these, you will need some wiring attached to your 2020 Nissan Murano to power the lights. I recommend the Curt T-Connector, part # C56267. It includes a tail light converter to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches the one from your motorcycle trailer, and it gives you the 4-pole harness to power the trailer. I've linked to a video installation of this harness for you to reference.
